Aren't fluid designs like that likely to screw up the page structure and layout if we're talking about sites with much more than a very basic content area plus perhaps one sidebar?

Also, as other people pointed out further up the thread, making use of the full browser width on monitors with high resolutions isn't necessarily particularly user friendly, because it doesn't really feel natural and relaxing to almost have to turn your head to read or see a full line of text, rather than just resort to eye movement as you do with a book - or a website with a fixed width where at least the main content area probably shouldn't be much wider than around 1000 pixels.
